Gulliver's Travels and Other Writings (Bantam Classics) Book Information:

one of Americas best-loved novels by PBSsThe Great American ReadIt is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery, remarked Alexander Pope whenGulliver's Travelswas published in 1726. One of the unique books of world literature, Swift's masterful satire describes the astonishing voyages of one Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, to surreal kingdoms inhabited by miniature people and giants, quack philosophers and scientists, horses endowed with reason and men who behave like beasts. Written with great wit and invention,Gulliver's Travelsis a savage parody on man and his institutions that has captivated readers for nearly three centuries.As bestselling author and critic Allan Bloom observed: Gulliver's Travelsis an amazing rhetorical achievement. Swift had not only the judgment with which to arrive at a reasoned view of the world but the fancy by means of which he could re-create that world in a form which teaches where argument fails and which satisfies all while misleading none.This representative collection of Swifts major writings includes the completeGullivers Travelsas well asA Tale of a Tub, The Battle of the Books, A Modest Proposal, An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity, The Bickerstaff Papers,and many more of his brilliantly satirical works. Here too are selections from Swifts poetry and portions of his Journal to Stella. Swifts savage ridicule, corrosive wit, and sparkling humor are fully displayed in this comprehensive collection.
